I think it's going to shift. Airlines in particular are probably going to decide that they can't afford to take another hit like this, and come up with a way to limit the damage if a software update (even from Microsoft) is broken, and come up with a way to test updates before pushing them to all devices.

Ah, got it. So instead they'll just keep doing what they were already doing for half their systems: Keeping them without updates for decades. Those terminals survived, afterall.

This is SOP for plenty of purchasers already.

Some orgs just don't have the ability to build processes like that.
